Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 243 Beast Bones

Wen Wen had previously instructed the man in the metal suit that every new detainee, after signing the contract, was to have their key handed over to Wen Wen.

Under the authority of the Disaster Prison Warden, the man in the metal suit could only comply, though he did not approve of Wen Wen’s actions.

However, despite his disapproval, he was filled with gratitude towards Wen Wen.

This was because he had personally witnessed the containment facility gradually regaining its vitality since Wen Wen took charge.

Perhaps one day, it could be like before, with tens of thousands of detainees walking the world, maintaining its balance.

Of course, Wen Wen was unaware of what the man in the metal suit was thinking. He had always regarded the man in the metal suit as an intelligent butler, which was indeed the case.

At this moment, he had arrived at Apartment Three in the Disaster Zone and opened the door with the key.

Upon opening the door, a foul stench of decay assailed his senses, forcing Wen Wen to cover his nose.

Judging by the smell alone, Wen Wen could confidently assert that the resident of this room was definitely not normal.

Upon entering, Wen Wen understood; the occupant of this room might not even be human!

The layout resembled a beast's den, with dried, brittle straw on the floor and a pile of desiccated bones in the corner.

“This room… seems to have no oil or water, and the stones and soil here probably weigh several tons. Heng An will have his work cut out for him when tidying up.”

At a glance, not a single decent antique was visible in the room, let alone any usable supernatural items.

However, having experienced two house searches, Wen Wen was not one to give up so easily. This was, after all, once the residence of a superpowered individual.

He closed his eyes, and black energy emanated from his body, scanning the entire room.

Searching a house like this was far more convenient than searching it piece by piece.

After the energy dissipated, Wen Wen headed straight for the pile of straw.

On top of the straw lay several stone eggs of similar size, though their purpose was unknown.

However, Wen Wen's target was not these stone eggs but something within the pile of earth. He dug through the soil and found a bone, over a meter long, belonging to some unknown creature.

The bone was imbued with an unusual energy that had not completely dissipated even after thousands of years, making it excellent material for crafting supernatural items.

Wen Wen estimated that this was at least the bone of a disaster-level true sequence monster, possibly even a cataclysm-level monster!

However, judging by the strange bite marks and scratches on the bone, it seemed the detainee who lived here had been using it as a chew toy…

“Perhaps that detainee was a large cat.”

Apart from this bone, there was nothing else useful in the room. The other bones and the stone eggs might have had some use, but Wen Wen did not want to be too greedy.

He ate the meat, but he also had to let Heng An have some soup.

Standing at the doorway, Wen Wen sighed, saying, “It seems these room inspections don’t always yield much profit…”

“However, at least this room proves that non-humans can also be detainees.”

“In that case, my decision to have those monsters study is correct; they may indeed be useful to me in the future, so I’ll get them a few more textbooks.”

The monsters never dreamed that their lives would become even more difficult after just one of Wen Wen's room inspections.

Wen Wen waved the bone a couple of times and stroked his chin, “This thing can probably be made into a cane. I’ll study it when I have time.”

Heng An was still absorbing knowledge from the superpowered world like a sponge. Wen Wen estimated that he wouldn't finish learning it in a short time, as even Wen Wen himself had taken quite a while to gain a concrete understanding of the superpowered world.

The knowledge the man in the metal suit possessed was all antique from a thousand years ago. However, Wen Wen had updated his information a while ago, so he wasn't afraid of Heng An being misled.

Next, he arrived at another residential area in the Disaster Zone, where the jailers and other staff of the containment facility resided. However, at this time, only jailers lived there.

A total of sixteen people lived here. Apart from the original Scarface, everyone else was an employee of the Lishui Mountain Villa.

As Wen Wen approached, all sixteen jailers stood respectfully by his side.

Before sending Liu Yankai and the others out, Wen Wen had already registered them as jailers and sent them to Scarface, also known as Huozu Yi.

It seemed Huozu Yi had educated them well.

Wen Wen nodded and said to Huozu Yi, “From today onwards, you are their squad leader. You will be responsible for their work assignments from now on.”

Scarface, Huozu Yi, bowed to Wen Wen in thanks.

Although he appeared expressionless, he was actually overjoyed.

Having been imprisoned in the containment facility, he hadn’t had anyone to talk to. Now that he had fifteen subordinates, he felt as if he had regained the glory of being a gang leader.

However, he dared not show his elation in front of Wen Wen, because within the containment facility, the status of jailers was lower than that of the monsters, and Wen Wen could decide their life or death based on his mood.

“You fifteen will have no names from today onwards. You will be known as Huozu Two to Huozu Sixteen, and your specific tasks will be arranged by Huozu Yi.”

After a brief explanation, Wen Wen left the area. He didn’t have much interest in these jailers.

They were incapable of disobeying any of Wen Wen's commands and could only dedicate their lives to the containment facility with utmost diligence.

Following that, Wen Wen inspected the two monsters and one superpowered individual who had been captured in the rescue operation.

Upon being placed in the prison cell, the disaster-level monster Xi Yangyang Yao saw the other monsters of the same level diligently studying and immediately adjusted its own position.

When Wen Wen came to inspect, it even proactively requested to study, which greatly changed Wen Wen’s attitude towards it.

As for the two from the Disaster Zone, they were not as wise.

The disaster-level monster, Mighty Little Green Man…

Well, Wen Wen didn't know its species either, and they couldn't communicate, so he just gave it a name.

Its brain was not very sharp, and it kept yelling at Wen Wen while confined in its cell. Therefore, Wen Wen simply sent it to Hu Youling’s cell. An hour later, when it was brought out, it became very obedient.

Now, Hu Youling wished for any monster to disobey Wen Wen’s orders so that Wen Wen would send it to her.

Moreover, in her eyes now, Wen Wen was no longer the great villain who had imprisoned her but a great benefactor who possessed the resources she needed most.

It could be said that even monsters would change after being confined in a cell for a long time.

“Sir, come play again next time! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~”

Hu Youling waved a handkerchief and said to Wen Wen, bouncing happily.

Frankly, Wen Wen was somewhat pleased by Hu Youling’s attitude, as she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

However, the thought that she could even devour Mighty Little Green Man extinguished his interest.

Finally, there was the old witch from the Exploration Realm, whose ability was to control scarecrows.

This ability was quite interesting, but if Wen Wen were to use it, he could only use scarecrows to frighten people.

Perhaps because Wen Wen had killed her lover, she had always refused to give him a pleasant expression.

But it didn't matter. Once Heng An finished his studies, he would be called over.

He would surely be very interested in adding insult to her injury.
